Another possibility (one i am often having trouble with) is having your
files stored on a file server. Since the file creation time is the
time of your file server, it may happen that the clock of your
pc is a little slower than the one on your file server. If the
pc creates a file and reads back its creation time, it'll
get the file servers time which is a little ahead. Under unix
there is a special time protocol to synchnize clocks and to avoid
this problem. With my pc and the sunos server running samba
i did not know of a solution for this problem.
